AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend following a failure in November 2024. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, suggesting that the issues identified in the previous year were addressed. This follows a period of instability where the vehicle failed its 05 November 2024 test due to an excessively corroded offside front brake pipe. The recorded mileage of 85,942 miles is relatively low for a 2011 model, averaging approximately 5,729 miles per year. The MOT history provides a consistent annual record from 2022 through 2025. While the low mileage suggests infrequent use, the 2024 test highlighted specific wear on consumable items, specifically the offside and nearside rear tyres which were noted as being worn close to the legal limit. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The 05 November 2024 failure specifically flagged corrosion on the offside front brake pipe, and the tester noted they were unable to check all brake pipes due to underbody covers. It is necessary to verify that the corrosion has been fully remediated and that the brake lines are free from further degradation. The recurring advisories regarding rear tyre wear in 2024 indicate that tyre maintenance has been a point of concern. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding a child seat obstructing the adult belt inspection suggests that certain areas of the interior or seatbelt mechanisms may require a manual check to ensure full functionality and compliance. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
